Lupita Nyong’o’s character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens appears very, very briefly in this new TV spot.

If you’re not too fed up of the endless promo for Episode 7, this new spot for Disney XD has an interesting tidbit.

We have heard the Oscar-winner’s voice in previous ads, but this appears to first time we actually see what she looks like in the film.

Nyong’o’s character Maz Kanata can be seen stood next to Finn in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.

Did you spot her in the clip above? Here’s a hint – she appears at roughly the 15-second mark.

There she is! And she’s orange from the looks of it.

We’re hoping Maz, who Nyongo’o has described as a ‘pirate’ with a ‘colourful past’ will join the ranks of Threepio and BB8 as a beloved character, and not go the same way as poor, much-derided Jar Jar Binks.
